Jayden was diagnosed with Dravet, a rare form of epilepsy, when he was a baby. Since then, he has had seizures preventing him from walking, playing and living life.

"At one point Jayden had seizures 24 hours a day lasting an hour and a half," David said. "I went to my doctor and said, 'I don't think Jayden is going to last, he can't sleep, can't eat, he hasn't used the restroom, he can't do anything.'"

David said his son has been taken away in an ambulance more than 40 times. He's also taken 22 pills a day -- 12 different kinds and none of them worked.

David said it got so bad that he wanted to kill himself and put a gun to his head.

But now, those thoughts are long gone.

As a last resort, David turned to medical marijuana. Specifically, a liquid form that contains a component known as CBD.

Jayden's pediatrician prescribes it to Jayden and says the liquid form maintains medicinal qualities, while giving less of a high.

Jayden has been getting a few drops a day for the past two years and David said it's been a remarkable difference.

Jayden is the most independent he's ever been. He plays well, can walk and give his dad high fives, David said.

"(The) first day I gave him medical marijuana, thank God. (It was) the first day he went seizure free in his life,"he said.

David said he wants to share his story to help other parents in the same situation.

He says parents need to educate themselves and do what's right for their own children.

The father and son have been featured in numerous articles and television shows. Jason and Jayden will be featured as a small piece in a special about medical marijuana with Dr. Sanjay Gupta that airs Sunday on CNN.

Jayden's pediatrician said he is seeing more children with autism and seizures who are benefiting from medical marijuana.

The doctor admits not a lot of studies have been done on medicinal marijuana, which is why doctors across the board may have differing opinions.

However, doctors at the University of California-San Francisco are now studying the affects the CBD component in medical marijuana has on epileptic children.

HE IS NOT BELIEVED TO HAVE ANYONE WITH HIM. A STORY THAT IS SURE TO RAISE A FEW EYEBROWS. A FATHER STRUGGLING TO HELP HIS SON SAID THAT MEDICAL MARIJUANA SAVED HIS LIFE. EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR THEIR KIDS. HE IS THE MOST INDEPENDENT HE HAS EVER BEEN. CAN I GET A KISS? I LOVE YOU. THE SIX-YEAR-OLD BOY CAN WALK DOWNSTAIRS AND GET HIS DATA HIGH FIVE BUT THIS WAS NOT THE REALITY FOR HIM. THIS IS VIDEO OF HIM DURING ONE OF HIS SEIZURES AND HAVING WITHDRAWALS FROM HIS PRESCRIPTION MEDS. HE WAS HAVING SEIZURES EVERY DAY. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND I SAID I DON'T THINK HE IS GOING TO LAST A FEW WEEKS. HE IS NOT USING THE RESTROOM AND HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. HE TURNED TO A LIQUID FORM OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA THAT MAINTAINS MEDICINAL QUALITIES WITH LESS OF A HIGH. THE FIRST DAY, IT WAS THE FIRST DAY HE EVER WENT SEIZURE FREE IN HIS LIFE. THEY HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN NUMEROUS INTERNATIONAL STORIES. DESPITE THE STIGMA, HE WANTS PARENTS TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN. HOW CAN I NOT TELL PEOPLE TO SAVE THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES? HE IS SEEING MORE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AND SIEZURES -- SEIZURES BENEFITING FROM IT.
